My Dad Wants To Read Twilight
Yes, he just told my mom that she should go buy him a copy Twilight when we go reserve myself a copy of Breaking Dawn this afternoon. My reaction: O_O WTF
I mean, imagine a 35-year-old man (well, he doesn’t really look thirty five, most people even mistake us for brothers!) jumping up and down his seat while containing his scream just because he read these lines:
“You’re impossible. How can I put this so that you’ll believe me? You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.”
“Isn’t it supposed to be like this? The glory of first love, and all that. It’s incredible, isn’t it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?”
“Bella, I couldn’t live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don’t know how it’s tortured me. The thought of you still, white, cold…to never see that flash of intuition when you see through my pretenses…it would be unendurable. You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.”
“You are exactly my brand of heroin.”
I mean, c’mon!

Damn, your father is quite young. Mine’s 50 years old.
Twilight… I really hate that book =/

LOL. I can’t imagine my dad reading Twilight.. actually I can’t imagine my dad reading anything as he’s as blind as a bat and needs glasses to read the post. =/ Haha. I might take him to see the film though. He enjoyed Harry Potter, so a bit of vampireness can’t hurt him.

That’s pretty wierd. Guess Twilight is like Harry Potter, appeals to everyone.
Although I agree with Nathan, it’s not even a decent book…

I think my Dad would throw himself off a cliff before reading THAT. D:

My dad has no idea what Twilight is, and I’d like to keep it that way.
I don’t like Twilight much, I read the first book and then gave it to the library.

Lol my dad doesn’t even know Twilight is a book. If I asked him “have you heard of twilight?” He would reply, “you mean the time of day right…?” hahaha.
But it’s weird too. A father reading a love story. xD

Very weird. I was reading this post and suddenly my dad was all, “Clem, have you read that vampire book?” o.0 Now my brother wants to read it and see the movie.

I find that series incredibly poorly-written.
on July 13th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Hah, your dad’s an easy sell.
on July 13th, 2008 at 11:55 am
LOL!! To be honest, I’m starting to find the series annoying, repetitive and somewhat bland… but I’m hooked, and I can’t stop reading! *slams head against wall*
I finished Twilight, now I’m almost done with New Moon

Torturous love transcends generation.

Wow. Hmm, I’ve never heard of that book before, though.

Ha, that’s cute.
I find it hilarious how crazed kids have become about the Twilight books. I was in Barnes and Noble the other day, and like you said, they had a place to pre-pre-pre-pre-order the next book.
It’s good that people are reading again.

I just got my hands on the book this past weekend. Haven’t read it yet, but it sounds like an interesting book! Maybe I should have started reading that one first instead of ‘Wicked’! Oh well!

I can’t imagine my dad reading anything at all. Unless it involves business or making loads of money, he prefers a “short summary” of things.
I’ve never read Twilight myself. Perhaps that should be my birthday present.

Aww, I think that’s adorable

I’ve never even read Twilight
But I suppose that must like that time when my Dad tried to watch and really understand the Harry Potter movies. He gave up after the third movie when I told him that he should probably read the books if he was going to ask me an indefinite number of questions about it.
